Abstract Controlling the spontaneous emission of atoms or molecules is an interesting research topic in the field of quantum optics. Here we provide a perspective on modulating the interaction between two quantum emitters through a sandwich structure composed of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The dependence of interaction between quantum emitters on the thickness of hBN and chemical potential of graphene is investigated in detail. When the transition frequency of quantum emitter is located in the hyperbolic band of type I supported by hBN, the radiative state can be easily modulated by adjusting the chemical potential of graphene. So it is flexible to switch the interaction of quantum emitters from superradiant state to subradiant state by external electric field. When the transition frequency of quantum emitter is located in hyperbolic band of type II, the system can be always in the superradiant state. We predict the further research perspectives of spontaneous emission and superradiance with the help of metasurfaces based on two-dimensional materials.

The atomic plasma etching removes one hBN monolayer at a time. After some etching step, the quantum emitter disappears.

Abstract In recent years, the discovery of "magic angle" graphene has given new inspiration to the formation of heterojunctions. Similarly, the use of hexagonal boron nitride, known as white graphene, as a substrate for graphene devices has more aroused great interest in the graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (G/hBN) heterostructure system. Based on the first principles method of density functional theory, the band structure, density of states, Mulliken population, and differential charge density of a tightly packed model of twisted graphene/hexagonal boron nitride/graphene (G/hBN/G) sandwich structure have been studied. Through the establishment of heterostructure models TBG inserting hBN with different twisted angles, it was found that the band gap, Mulliken population, and charge density, exhibited specific evolution regulars with the rotation angle of the upper graphene, showing novel electronic properties and realizing metal-insulator phase transition. We find that the particular value of the twist angle at which the metal-insulator phase transition occurs and propose a rotational regulation mechanism with angular periodicity. Our results have guiding significance for the practical application of heterojunction electronic devices.
